The Des Moines Register‘s editorial board didn’t mince words Tuesday as it urged Rep. Steve King to resign following backlash over his white supremacy remarks.

In addition to citing King being stripped of his committee assignments leaving Iowa without a seat on the vital House Agriculture Committee, the editorial board called out King for making their state “a laughing stock on the national stage with his offensive and absurd remarks about undocumented immigrants.”

    The problem with all the “Steve King is a terrible racist” frenzy is that this is not news.. Anyone paying the slightest attention has known for years that Steve King is a terrible racist. His constituents have known for years that he’s a terrible racist,and yet they keep electing him. They did so two months ago.

    The problem isn’t limited to Steve King and the Republican party’s racism problem won’t be cured by getting rid of him.
